SEAT AND BACKREST ADJUSTMENT
Warning: It should be noted that under certain conditions, and configurations of the
wheelchair, ie. for users with limited / no lateral body control, and with the backrest in the
reclined position, there is the potential to create a body trap between the armrest / side-
panel and the backrest.
Suitable accessories are available from Invacare (lateral trunk supports_ to eliminate this risk.
Before sitting in the chair, make sure it is NOT switched ON. If it is ON, the battery condition indicator (10
